Amazing modern style cafe. The simplified aesthetic, modern vibe, and themed ambiance create a relaxing atmosphere. From food presentation to taste and portion sizes, everything was top-notch. The staff's hospitality added to the overall smooth experience. They did speak Korean and Japanese as well as enough English to communicate basic things. As a foreign traveler, the initial confusion with prices (e.g., 7.5 means 750 yen). A solid 10/10 for a cafe that perfectly blends style and substance!

Sadly, we only had room for coffee, but it was one of the best we had in Japan in over 5 weeks of daily coffee ship hunting!

This fashionable cafe is in a renovated warehouse/factory on a side street off the main road. They have a breakfast/brunch and lunch menu, cakes and sweets as well as signature coffee and cafe drinks. I only drink black coffee, so their Americano is perfect for me. It isn't bitter and is perfect without milk and sugar. The interior is very stylish and attracts many people from all over Osaka

I’m a foreigner traveling so going in I was confused on the prices since they designed their prices to suit their atmosphere, which was a simplified aesthetic. For those confused if the menu says 7.5 it means 750 yen. Everything else was immaculate, food display, the taste of the food, portions, the staff, and every item in the store. Everything is themed and it makes such a relaxing and smooth atmosphere. 10/10
